Tips for having a better Ride Experience: #2: Restaurant Hunting

Restaurant Hunting:

People who go on long rides (including myself once upon a time) often complain about the availability of good food and how they just got an upset stomach or food poisoning etc. because of eating on the way. 

From the rides I've done till date, if there's one thing I have learnt regarding food, it's that good food is available where ever you go, even if it's a frickin' desert. 

Observation Skills:

All you have to do is develop good observation skills and awareness while passing restaurants on bikes (to judge the place correctly) and you will definitely find a restaurant that will provide you high quality food (that you pay 2000s - 3000s ₹ in metro cities) for really affordable rates like 800 bucks (for eg. this restaurant in the post) for 5 people. 

We never faced ANY issues regarding food anywhere during Ride De Spiti 2018: Ride to the Himalayas.

Problem faced during Ride De India 2017:

Infact, during Ride De India 2017, I had an upset stomach and loose motion for 2 weeks in Leh-Ladakh belt and that's why I couldn't take in the full experience of Himalayas last year, all because of bad choice of hotels. 

All I was thinking while riding was about reaching the hotel, getting to the toilet and taking a dump. 

Developing Observation Skill through Experience:

I think one can develop this hotel choosing skill over time and experience. Yes, you'll have to experience a lot of bad food and spoil your stomachs along the way until you are able to judge the place well. It all comes with experience. 

That's why I always say riding is an art in itself. It has so many branches if you observe it deeply. 

Branches of Riding:

Touring is one of the branches, just like Track Riding, Dirt Riding, Stunt Riding are other branches of Riding and every branch has its own elements that comes into play. One who's mastered all the branches of biking is the Biking Guru. 

Misconception among today's youth:

Having a million Social Media followers doesn't make one a Biking Guru that most people are in misconception of these days. I'm sure many will agree with this.
